Yeah

I think I'm calmer now, and I think all my algorithms are perfect.


by think, i mean "am sure beyond any reasonable doubt"

to the point where the only disagreement in my brain can be discounted to be noise.

flat map:

north polar:
http://micras.org/temp/phptests/north_polar.php

south polar:
http://micras.org/temp/phptests/south_polar.php

Coordinates:
http://micras.org/temp/phptests/Coords_new.txt

Note that the stars are now evenly distributed around the night sky. Lord Pete only knows what type of galaxy we're in now :P


Note also that the coordinates file is in this format:
X - Y - L
Where X is the X coordinate
Y is the Y coordinate
and L is the apparent luminosity, logarithmic, using a base of the fifth root of 100 and relative to the earth star of Vega. (which is 0)

Any errors from now on will be blamed on novel physics.


Yes, that means you can start work on constellation maps.

I'm just the gods intestines... Pete's the god...

And I had a lot of help from the previous god(who happens to be you)'s intestines and the god before that.

Great luminosity differences! But I have to find new constellations now :cry:

Are the png files in the first post up-to-date as well?

Nope, we have to delete it all again :D


I'd say it'll all be done soon but I'd be lieing.

Bill will want to model the flow of hydrogen within each star next so he can accurately measure each solar flare.

Well I can't save the images from the php pages, and I'd like to do my constellations now that it's been updated. Can you provide the direct link the new images?

Bill says he'll be finished soon.


EDIT: wait, he says he's found another problem.

Aw, you didn't use the inverse of the Second-order van der Sluijs constant as your base. :(

It's done.
